when you were small
...smaller...

you stared at the setting sun

you thought you could
ignore
their wisdom & stare at
the roiling fusion

you saw the star arcing,
it interested you

you knew,
in that moment

you were a sun

ii.
you controlled the sky

you controlled the sun
& its composition
over water

you were author
of the composition,
by witness -

you alighted your retinas
& that jewel in your
mind


you reckoned
the phenomena

was the circle an eye?

was it top of the tent?

did it anchor your
starry experience?



iii.
my body is a reflection

i walk on illumination -

i am a mirror of the sun

&,
in very real terms

i am kaleidoscopic

& you are

&
we are -

&
It

is




iv.
science says
we are of sun-dust

illuminated by sun-light

in a massive sea of suns:

is there any way to
comprehend
that we are of

the thing
we pray to?

 

v.
remember,

still:

your connection.
